Chapter 8: The Proposal
Hermione stood from her bed and walked over to him.

"Draco, I -I don't understand, what are you doing here? What if your father finds out then we are both dead," Draco placed a finger on her lip.

"Shhh, for one night let's just make it all about me and you, no one else matters right now, just me and you," Draco whispered as he leaned down and kissed her passionately.
She pulled away and looked at him.

"But how are you here?" She asked.
"I already told you, I'm here because you asked me to be here, if you want me to leave then just ask,"

"No! No I don't want you to leave, Draco when can it just be me and you, these years have been killing me, all I want is to be with you, that's why I became an aurora to take your father down so finally it can be me and you," Draco cupped her face in his hand. She looked up at him then tears started to spill she threw herself on him and she stood there crying in his chest. He picked her up and laid her down on her bed, crawling in next to her.

"Draco, I love you," Hermione said before she fell asleep.
"And I love you, one day we'll be together, you wait and see, and it won't be threw our dreams," Draco said, he kissed her forehead.

Hermione woke up the next morning to the sun in her face.
"Draco!" She breathed. She got up and looked around, he was nowhere in sight, when she saw the time she quickly got ready and left for work. "Was it all a dream?" She asked herself before she disappeared and reappearing at her office.

"Oh Miss Granger, here these are for you," Hermione looked up to a deliveryman carrying flowers, he put them on her desk and left. She grabbed the card and opened it, flower peddles fell out while she took the card out and flower peddles fell out when she opened the card.

No it wasn't a dream. Read the card.

She shut the card and put it in her pocket a tear fell out from her eye and she sat down getting started on what she had to do for the day.

"Hermione come on, we have to go," Ron said running into her office.
"Go? Go where?" Hermione asked.
"Didn't you read the notice today?" Harry asked. "It said all of the aurora had to go to Grenmind road, they believe a death eater lives their and it's our first mission." Hermione grabbed the notice and quickly read threw it.

"Let's go," She whispered. She followed them out and they all disappeared to Grenmind road.

Hermione walked into her house, she didn't think catching that death eater would be so hard, he put up a good fight, and almost killed Ron, but Hermione managed to put a binding spell on him wrapping him up in rope. She only wished it had been Lucius Malfoy, how she wanted to get rid of him, she wanted to be with Draco but when that would be she didn't know, all she knew is she loved him.

"Hermione, come with me," Draco said. Hermione turned around and there he was once again, in her dreams. "Draco," she whispered, taking his hand. As soon as she did he smirked and both of them were on a bridge looking down at the water. Hermione was amazed. "Draco how did we get here?" She asked.

"I made it happen, Hermione?" He asked. She turned to face him. "Hermione I can't wait much longer, I need you to be with me, when I heard you had your first fight today with a death eater I was so afraid I would never see you again, Hermione I want to marry you the moment I can have you in my arms, and not in a dream," He took her hand and placed a diamond ring on her finger. It wasn't too small and it wasn't too big, it was just perfect. She was speechless. She faced him and started to cry. "Draco, I would love too, I want to so bad, I only wish I could be with you now," Hermione hugged him then kissed him. She closed her eyes and cried and when she opened them he was once again gone. She cried even harder,

She cried so hard she cried herself awake.

She shot up and felt her face tears were spilling from her eyes, then she looked down at her hand, a ring took it's place on her finger. She hugged it and started to cry, this was so hard she couldn't take it anymore, she would see him first thing tomorrow she would see him!
